TURKEYS DOWNFALL.
Death by the Axe Meets tbe Grave
aud SeGat, AatOc at Of
the EarDyC ID.

Turkey = dead.
The proud and mighty has fallen
by the wayside, and his bones lay
scattered in the back yard, or orna'
meet the neighbor's garden.
Death came in the silent watches OF
the night, and in the broad glare OF
day. A tame laying of his head upon
the block, the gleam of the deadly axe
in the hands of the ruthless kitchen
mechanic, a "swish' as the blade
cleaves the air, and the work of death
is done.
Off falls the turkeys head, away
goes his body in the death throes, up
goes the smoke of the fire in the
kitchen stove, and steam arises from
the waste of boiling water.
The scene is vivid one, aud h ri
rending.
( mo crosses of flowers aud snow
white winding sheet hide from view
the stiGening form of him who once
did boldly strut about. No silent
tears, save luOSc TIC SCCulCu
onion draws. No cries of anguish
of the bleeding heart, or tale of pity,
oft-.imes told. No sanding by the
bier to witness the going down inro
the grave of friend of many years.
Only the merry singing Ct the kettle
on the stove, as it sends out its msutle
of wavy steam.
So dies this noble bird.
So gives he up his life that mans in
satiste hunger be appeased.
So lays he down to mingle with the
spice and incence that 60 to make
good stOfing.
He was a lorGly bird and proud ;
but pride goeth before a fall, and ne
heIpeth to make a good round meal.
Sacred be ais memory, and green
the grass upon which his successors
loves to strut, and gobble, and make
love unto his mate.

Thanksgiving should be a day fer
giving thanks, and the poor of ( :
dalia, when they last night sought
their h. mble beds, bad much TO be
thankfJl for. Foe once, at least, they
had been well fed.
A dinuer, go..ea up and engineered
by The christian ladies' OF the city, was
given Ia The new market house, and
all the poor invited. Besides a din

giving reunion at Sicher's Park ho,el
last evening. The lodges turned oui
almost to a man, and took with them
their wives, sisters and sweethearts,
and invited large number of guests,
many of whom took their lady friends.
The halls. dining rooms and reception
rooms of the spacious park ho;el were
full of people, and bright colors and
smiling faces met one at every
turn.
There was nice supper spread 10
the dining room and TO this the crowd
did justice until Thanksgiving day
was ended and Friday had begun. 1t
was good supper, supper of which
a hungry man could boast,
and about which epicures
and connoiSeurs could smile with
content. There was turkey and
cold boiled meats, bread, coffee, and
substantials and delicacies in endless
variety.
After all had eaten, the dining room
was cleared, and a short literary and
musical program was gone through
with. This was very pleasant feat
ure of the program and was heartily
enjoyed. Then came dancing. Prof.
Grege's orchestra furnished the
music, and the young people
furnished the dancing. This was kept
up until the God of Day had begun
to make prepai atioDs for his western
trip.
1t was a splendid reuDion, and was
enjoyed by all. Great credit is due
those who conceived and carried out
the reunion, for the pleasant enter
tainuent, unmarried by single acct
dent.
Among the guests were noted Col.
Crawford, of Smithton, aud w. NJ.
Weekly, George w. Smith and F.
d. Miller, of Sweet Springs. United
WOrkmen from Lamonte were present,
also.
A gold headed cane was awarded to
HaBley Pilkinton as the most popular
member of the four lodges in Sedalia,
and gold-handled parasol was given
Mrs. w. ID. Wallace as the most pop
ular wife of a member.
Other prizes were awarded, Phil
Kelley receiving one for meri;orious
service to the order.

Resignation Withdrawn.

NJ. M. Davis, pastor Of the CHI istian

charge of church at Chattanooga,

the young people of the church, 10
whom Mr.. Davis had became very
much attached, and they got up a
monster PETITION, askiog him 10 with
draw the resignation, which he fnall y
consented to do, and bas siguiied his
determination TO remain with the
church here. The petition was signed
by every member OF The Sedalia
church, and is striking illustration
o. the high regard IN which ibe pas,or
is held.

Mclaughlin Bros. have on exhibit
ton at their store three paintings thst
are beauties. One is entitled cary
iety," and represents baby girl-a
golden haired, b!ue-eyed little to-,
who, with a toy whip, has broken a
costly vase, aud the expression on her
fee is one of anxiety indeed. She is
not scared, for to the looker-on she ap-
pears to be on the point of breaking
into a pleasant smile. Life and
health and a wiusome nature shine
from her deep eyes. She is lovely
and lOvable-the very picture of
youthful health and vigor. Another
picture represents ga Fisherman's
Daughter" as she stands, basket in
hand, leaning against sone firm OF
ject. The evening sun tinges her
cheeks with that radiant color so nc
culiar to the Italian atmosphere. The
girl is just turned twelve years, and
has the sedate, listless air of child
without care; her conscience as clear
as The waters of the lake from which
her father takes his fish. She is beau
tiful in the garments of the poor
peasant, and is unscathed with any
fear of future happiness. The third
picture represents "Judah," a Jewish
maiden of Biblical fame. An old
white plastered wall forms the back
ground, against which she stands in
bold relief. Dark as the maids Of
Assyria, almost, her long black hair
hangs to her waist, mantli2g her
shoulders In a mass of raven glory
Her arms are barred to the shoulders,
and golden bracelet encircles each
above the elbow. In her left hand
she holds a sword, point downward.
Firm as the wall against which she
stands, tall and willowy, majestic as a
queen, she shows her noble birth.
The three pictures are handsomely
framed, and would well repay a
visit to see them.
